Utilizing your Spring Break for your Job Search
So, spring break has arrived! After you have taken a little bit of time to relax, use your time way from school to make strides in your job search.
Network. Network. Network. Meet with attorneys for informational interviews. Seek out those who practice in areas that interest you and ask about their career path. If you are in your target geographic location over break, talk to them about the legal market there.
Follow up - spend some time making those follow-up calls you have been meaning to get to. If you sent materials to an employer and haven't gotten a response be sure to call to follow up. You never know where the conversation might lead.
Get out there - consider dropping off your resume and cover letter to targeted employers. Take any and all opportunities to chat with anyone you run into - the receptionist, people on the elevator, etc. If you have traveled to your target market be sure to tell the receptionist that you are in town from Cleveland and wanted to drop off your materials. You can be sure he/she is going to remember you!
Stay proactive - don't let opportunities that become available over break pass you by! Keep checking Symplicity, sending targeted mailing, and reaching out to employers and networking contacts.
Meet with a counselor - make an appointment with a CSO counselor to talk with us over break if you are in town or for when you return from break. We are happy to talk with you about your job search and career goals.
